Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave) – optional
Optional Add-Ins and Toppings
- 1 scoop protein powder or 1 tablespoon nut butter (for protein boost)
- 1/2 cup spinach or kale (for green twist)
- Replace some strawberries with mango or pineapple (for tropical vibes)
- Nuts, seeds, granola, chia seeds, or toasted coconut flakes (for crunch)
- Fresh fruit slices (strawberries, banana, or other fruits)
- Prepare Your Fruits: Wash your strawberries and slice off the green stems. Peel the bananas and chop them into smaller pieces to help with even blending.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the strawberries, chopped bananas, Greek yogurt, and milk. Blend until smooth and silky. Adjust the milk amount for desired thickness—less for spoonable consistency, more for a thinner smoothie.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie base and add honey, maple syrup, or agave a little at a time if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again until the sweetness is to your liking.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Top creatively with fresh fruit slices, crunchy granola, seeds, coconut flakes, or any preferred toppings to add texture and color.
- Serve Fresh and Enjoy: Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. Use a spoon to savor every creamy, fruity bite.
Notes
- Freeze fruits first for a chilled, thick texture without using ice.
- Adjust milk quantity slowly to control smoothie consistency.
- Layer heavier toppings like nuts last to keep them crunchy.
- Use ripe bananas to add natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Pulse the blender or stir gently if adding toppings inside to maintain some texture.
